Poverty, bravery, love

This is a Book Review Haiku, instigated by a post that I saw on Threads (follow me there ) from Adventure Ink Comics:

Because official Vocal Challenges aren't overwhelming enough, I shared this on The Medium Writers and Vocal Creators Support Group (which I totally would have named a short and snappy name when I started it a few years ago, had I known how often i would type it, but well- there you go and here I am) as an unofficial Challenge.

Haikus can help distill multiple thoughts, and is not likely to give away a plot twist. (Not likely, but not always. Please see my haiku above for the exception. Sorry. But in my defense it IS in public domain now...)

So, are you up to join us on this crazy train-of-thought (Note: no royalties will be paid to Ozzie for that phrase.)? If so, use the #Bookreviewhaiku hashtag so it can be found. That will come in handy when we decide to create the #bookreviewhaiku t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and magnets. I know you'll want to be part of that, won't you? (Another note- kinda kidding about this, but also kinda not. I would buy one...)
